I love corn! In just about any form, I'll eat it (and eat it and eat it...). And grilling it brings out such great flavors in fresh picked summer corn. This recipe adds in some protein with black beans, so you vegetarians can count it as a meal, and also a nice salty note from a small bit of feta cheese. It's a cheap and easy way to have a tasty side dish prepped and ready to go early in the day, so your dinner prep is short and sweet!

Preheat your grill to medium high. Spray the corn with a little olive oil cooking spray and wrap them in a sheet of foil. Set in the grill rack for about 20 min, turning a few times to get some good browning. Remove and set aside to cool. (I used 4 ears because 2 were really small.)

While the corn is grilling, assemble the rest of the ingredients in a medium to large bowl.

Cut the kernels off the corn and add to the bowl. Mix. Refrigerate or serve immediately.RP Servings: 6 as a side, 3 - 4 as a mainFor 21 Day Fix, a serving is 2/3 c and is 1 yellow and about 1/4 green. You could count a small amount of blue but each serving only has a small amount of fetaRATING: 4 starsMy husband LOVED this! He gave it 4 1/2 stars. I wasn't quite as enamored, but it is tasty, easy and healthy and will definitely make it into our rotation. I added a tbsp of apple cider vinegar, which is double the 1 1/2 tsp called for. Otherwise I didn't do any doctoring!

Stars: 3. It was not great, but it was fine. I put more ginger ale in it and it was better. I think the ratios were a bit off- the original had too much cranberry, and only just enough ginger ale to make it seem flat. I probably won't make it again since there are other, better drinks, but it wasn't bad.

I love summer cucumbers and cucumber salad! They're always easy to throw together, pack a delicious crunch, and - in summer anyway - super cheap. But I pretty much always make the same "summer salad" with tomatoes and onions, and an oil and vinegar dressing, so when I saw this recipe I saw a chance to mix it up a bit!

FOR 21 DAY FIX - this is 1 green, 1/2 tsp per serving - although probably 0 teaspoons since it doesn't really stick to the cukes!

I mixed the dressing ingredients first in my bowl.

Throw in the cukes and green onions and mix. Let marinate at least a half hour. RP Servings: for us, this is 2, with our 4 small Persian cucumbers RATING: 2 as writtenI should have read the comments first. Most were super positive but one hit it on the head: you can't taste the chili garlic sauce at all, the proportions of oil and vinegar are wrong. Also, it desperately needed salt - a couple of pinches of sea salt helped tremendously! I also added another 1/4 tsp if the chili garlic sauce. And more vinegar. I got it to a 3 1/2, but as the above mentioned commenter said, "This recipe is a hot mess."

ALSO - I didn't even realize it was supposed to be SWEET and spicy until I was writing this. It's not sweet AT ALL. I didn't adjust that and probably prefer it not sweet; you could add sugar, agave or honey to get more sweetness. I don't think you'd want to add more mirin...

Also again... Her photo has green specks on the cucumbers and for the life of me I don't know what those are supposed to be. IDEAS??

I have a breakfast thing... Which is that I really don't like breakfast. I don't like eating much in the morning, I don't like cooking in the morning. For many years I just didn't, before I started drinking coffee. I do now, but usually I just have a Kind bar. However, that doesn't work on 21 Day Fix, plus my husband DOES like breakfast. So in hopes of finding a "make once a week" solution, I'm giving these potato, egg and bacon (turkey bacon sadly...) cups a try.

NOTE: I decided to sprinkle some scallions on them too, for a little pop

For 21 Day Fix, 1 muffin cup is 1/2 yellow, 3/4 red, and less than 1/4 blue

Preheat the oven to 425. Spray muffin tins with nonstick spray. I used coconut oil spray.

In a bowl, mix the hash brown with salt and pepper, and 1/3c of cheese if desired. (I didn't add cheese at this stage.) Bake for 15-18 min until toasty. (Note: I baked mine 18 and the top was still soft so I put the oven on broil for a bit.)

While the potatoes are cooking, cook your bacon.

I put half the bacon on the potatoes, since I was using 1 piece per cup.

Crack one egg into each cup. Break the yolk if desired.

Sprinkle with a little cheddar and top with the remaining (or all) the bacon.

Reduce the oven to 350. Cook for 13-16 min or until the egg is the desired done was.

I topped mine with a little scallion.

This happened when I tried to take one out... Even though I used a lot of nonstick spray.

Because of the above mishap, I didn't have a ton of potato at the bottom. But you can see the layers.

RP Servings: 1 muffin is a serving. I made 6

RATING: 3 stars

Ok these are fine. Some things I'll do differently next time, though, will push them to a 4.

* I think that spreading the hash browns out on a baking sheet and letting them cook and get brown BEFORE putting them in the cup would give you a much nicer mouth feel. These were still soggy.

* I think I'll add just a little spinach, and maybe put the scallions in the middle layer.

* Real bacon would be WAY better, but right now we can only do turkey. I think I'll try turkey sausage next time though. It needs a pop!
